Summary

The investigators are conducting a study to see if taking a bowel preparation before having a capsule endoscopy is more helpful than the standard preparation of not eating after 7 PM the night before a capsule endoscopy in making it easier to see the small bowel in order to find the source of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Interventions

DRUG

Combination Prep

combination bowel preparation, which consists of: 1. drinking 2-liters (8 cups) of polyethylene glycol starting at 7 p.m. the night prior to the capsule endoscopy test; 2. drinking a teaspoon of simethicone 20 minutes prior to the capsule endoscopy test; 3. drinking a teaspoon of metoclopramide 20 minutes prior to the capsule endoscopy test; 4. lying on your right side for 30 minutes following the swallowing of the capsule endoscope.
